He said the nearest to it occurred when he was ap- pointed to a committee, in Chicago, to so- licit funds for some Jewish relief; and he was assigned to canvass a certain section of the city with which he was not partic- ularly familiar, so he was given a guide. As he would come to a particular store, his guide woulJ tell him the business ,vhich was conducted in th(' store and would also tell him what should be contributed by the owners or. managers of the store. He said that finally, as he was about to enter a certain store, the guide said to him, "There are a couple of brothers here, and they are pretty ,veIl to do. They can give plenty if they will, but they are pretty tight, and you will have to work on them." Lasker said he went into the store and met a man who turned out to be the older brother. What happened was substantially as follows: Lasker asked the man for a contribution. but he said, "No; 1 cannot." Lasker then asked why he could not con- tribute, and the man said, "Well, myoid mother is over in Warsaw, and 1 have to send her money regularly; and my wife is sick and in a hospital here in Chicago, and the hospital bills are simply terrifying in their amount and frequency." When he was further pressed to make a contribu- tion, the man said, "I have a daughter in one of the fancy finishing schools in the East, and the authorities of the school seem to devote their entire time to offer- ing justifications for this charge or that charge or some other charge, and the total of the charges is positively staggering. So 1 simply cannot give you anything." At that point the door opened and another man entered. He turned out to be the younger brother. Lasker asked him for a contribu- tion, but the younger brother said, "No." Then Lasker said, "Come on, now; you know you can contribute something if you want to." But the man said, "No; I cannot do it." Then Lasker called his attention to the fact that he was not supporting his mother, he did not have a wife in a hospital, he did not have a daughter in one of the fancy finishing schools in the East, and all it would mean if he made a contribution of a couple of hundred dollars would be that he would have only that much less to spend on his lady friends in Chicago. But still the man refused to contribute. Lasker finally turned to him and said, "WilJ you honestly tell me why you ,vill not contribute?" The man said, "Yes; 1 will. It is be- cause 1 don't like mince pie." Lasker said, "What does that have to do with whether you will contribute?" 1+ "Well," the man said, "when you ain't going to do a thing anyhow, one excuse is as good as another." M r.
